Ingredients
- Any chicken cut works - breast, tenders, legs, or thighs. Make sure these are boneless, skinless.
- Seasonings - just add your favorite seasonings, this dish works well with just a little salt and pepper too. Similar to my skillet chicken with mixed vegetables, add some pesto or salsa when serving.
- Veggies - more color the merrier! Use a variety of colorful veggies and cut them thicker. You can also add in fresh or frozen broccoli.

Tips
- Don't cut the zucchini and onion too thin. All the veggies here are cut larger than usual and should still be crisp by the end of cooking.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is done when a kitchen thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut the chicken into equal bite-size pieces so it will cook evenly.
- If there is a shorter phrase just bold something small in the middle of the sentence just for the purposes of easier reading for people.
Oil
The oil in this recipe ensures crispy edges and moist chicken, while helping seasoning adhere. Use olive oil spray for a lighter option.
How To Make Air Fryer Chicken Vegetables - Step-by-Step Photos
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken and vegetables. Add oil and spices and toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Add the chicken and vegetable mixture in the basket, spreading it out evenly. It's fine if some overlap. If you have smaller air fryer, do it in batches.
- Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Repeat with the remaining mixture until all chicken and vegetables are cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F for the chicken.
- Serve hot, optionally garnishing with parsley and a squeeze of lime for added flavor.
Oven Instructions
Prepare and season the chicken and vegetables as directed. Roast on a lined baking sheet at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature.
These bake evenly and don't warp, even at high heat. I use them for everything from cookies to roasted vegetables. They've held up really well over time.
Need Some Sauce?
This is what I love to use here:
- Increase oil + spices to drizzle later on top.
- Green goddess dip (my fave!)
- Miso tahini dressing
- Caesar dressing
- Lemon dressing

- To Reheat. Thaw it in the fridge and warm it in the skillet or in the microwave.
